I personally do not...I do like the sweet bread (google - puran poli) that is usually made on that day. - like you I should have left this one as well ;)
and hey, Hagi was fantastic...one of my favourites from that era.(Nadia is still remembered fondly even here, is one of those great ones that even my 70 yr old mother who has no interest in sport rememberes/talks about)
Do you like celebrating festivals? if yes, which ones?
I'd like to attend Stufstock Festival in Vama Veche but I never have a holiday during it. It's a sort of romanian version of Woodstock ( keeping the proportion of course ; stuf means reed).
Well, I think it's other forms of festivals you're talking about but at the moment we don't have such things here. Or maybe the Revelion ( new year's eve ) which is our no.1 celebration but it's too cold to stay in the street at midnight.
Why is Salman Khan so popular? He's not handsome and plays awful.
I hate Bollywood movies (98%) - quite picky when it comes to movies in general
Which band would you love to see live in a concert atleast once?
Manic Street Preachers
What sport would you have liked to practice at a high level?
Football.
Do you play any sport now? Or any exercize? (I wish I did :( )
No. I'm the ankylosed type. :p
Do you like winter sports?
I watch the winter olympics, but do not follow any of the sports otherwise. Nor do I partake in any. Sadly
Do you tell many lies to bosses, friends or people you meet?
Rarely and innocent ones.
Have you ever worn traditional clothes of your country?
Not really. We dont have many traditional clothes really.
I suppose there is this

What are the traditional clothes of your country?
There are so many, one for every state/region I guess and there 25+ of those (and that's just counting big regions)
Still the most common across the country is probably the Kurta

What is the best thing about the place where you live?
Honestly? I don't know.....
(Today I'm on the phase when I hate this place).
Have you ever been investigated by a state institution?
No to my knowledge :uhoh:
Should people be able to say what they like? Or should free speech have a limit?
Hard to answer. Free speech is a great ideal to have, but on certain occasions when 'free' speech incites civil unrest, there need to be limits in place for the greater good.
Yesterday in NZ out 'wonderful' government decided to allow oil exploration into a marine reserve where the world's most endangered dolphins live 'a-holes!". My question is this
Is the search for a few more drops of oil more important than the protection of a species?
It is not. But to most of the world it is. "Progress" for humanity rather than saving natural resources.
Do you do anything for a greener environment?
Yeah. My work is mostly related to forests, waters and environmental protection. ( have I ever said I hate my job? :p).
Have you ever take part to a protest march?
No I haven't. I realise while answering these questions that I am really boring. :(
Have you ever done anything illegal? :devil: (Don't admit to murder or anything)
Still do. I travel by subway using my mother's or my cousin's free pass - was caught 2 times in 10 years- never fined. Sometimes I travel by bus without ticket but never in my life had the balls to travel by train "with the godfather".
I buy from gypsies in the street products that are probably stolen.
Well, these are the things that can be said on a public forum.
Have you ever nicked something?
no, I'm a good boy - borrowed yes :)
what is the worst thing you have ever done to another person?
I'm ashamed to say. But I did something awful.
What was your worst punishment?
I sound so boring, but probably going to bed without supper when I was a wee laddy.
Sorry.
Have you ever met a person from a far away place? (like Tibet or Mongolia or somewhere)
For me far away could be Canada, USA, Australia......
If you meant something exotic I had during my uni years colleagues from Benin, Colombia, Congo.
Have you ever flied with a deltaplane?
Can’t say that I ever have, although I’d like to (fly supersonic).
Have you ever ridden a TGV train?
No. I would love to. Trains are pretty slow here (but still amazing in their own way!)
What's the fastest you have ever driven?
Hope there are no police reading this. :uhoh:
Once when younger and a bit more foolish I did break our 70mph speed limit on a motorway/freeway and do 100mph in my rubbish little Ford Ka.
Never driven on a race track or anything.
Have you ever driven on a racetrack of any kind? Or driven a track day?
Obviously not.
Have you ever rowed in a boat?
Yes, we used to have a beat-up old row boat at the family cottage. After many years and much neglect it rotted and fell apart (the boat, not the cottage :p: … well that too tbh :erm: ).
What did you do this weekend?
A lot of football watching (obviously), a friend and my sis-in-law + family came over..so had a little bbq before the game(s).
Same question?
Horrible weekend. On Saturday my mother had one of her terrible crises that brought me on the edge of a breakdown. Sunday was a dull day with a short visit to the market, some long talks on the phone and ended gloriously with a disappointment.
Thanks God for the World Cup, it's my oxygen baloon these days. For a few hours I forget everything and have a laugh on the forum.
Do you use to leave town on weekends?
Quite a few times - not anymore - atleast not without a lot of planning!
(hope things get better for you gadjo)
Have you ever been on a hot-air balloon? Or a parachute/parasail?
No. Neither I had the opportunity nor I'm brave enough. :p
Have you ever felt discriminated?
honestly no. I am quite thick skinned and things like that tend not to worry me. If people can't see my value, than that is their bad luck, not mine.
I have been rather sick recently, but I am more worried about a dear friend's health problems. Is this normal? (thought I would ask a Dr Phil sort of question :))
It's normal if his/her health problem is more difficult than yours
( BTW I wish you good health in case you're still sick ).
Why a guy who chose his nickname after a famous ( the best ever? :devil:) football squad is not following the WC 2014 thread?
Thank you gadjo - have had a virus that attached itself to heart muscle, was stopping it from beating properly even at all for brief periods :(Quote:

Are mobile phones the work of the devil?
I don't know. Haven't met this guy.
Do you have a tablet?
Yes I take one every night to help me sleep. :devil:
Whats the weather like where you are?
Usually at this time it is amazing (not often you can say that but the monsoons are indeed special) - no sun, only clouds and rain and lush green mountains and hills everywhere. Unfortunately due to La Niņa this time there is a deficit in rains and we still haven got any rains inspite of the "official" start to the monsoon season.
What sort of weather do you like?
Dry. I hate any form of precipitation. I'm surprised you like the monsoonic season. Everytime it's a heavy rain I use to say it's monsoonic.
What is your mental age? :p
well... my IQ is apparently 148, but according to Chantel :) my mental age is about somewhere between 11 and 13
Is it fair that women expect us poor hen-pecked males, to show out softer, caring side, than nag us to death because we are not stoic enough?
Not at all!
Agree with the first part - I have been called too stoic and practical way too many times :dozey:
(148 IQ is practically a genius)
Do you work in the same profession as dicatated by your education - I mean was your education relevant to your current job?
OT: gadjo, if you had lived in a hot (luckily not so humid here like the coast which I simply cannot bear) and tropical country like mine you would understand the power the monsoon has on most Indian minds. It is simply put, a life-giver in more than one sense.
